In Philadelphia, there was a trump rally organized on the east side of city hall before the 2016 election.
Turned out it was organized entirely in Facebook ads and groups paid for by proxies of the fsb.
So, to answer your question 20. In my community it was potentially 20 electoral votes.
- djrogers 5y agoSo you’re saying enough people to swing 20 electors, who weren’t already planning to vote for Trump, went to a Trump rally organized by Russian proxies, and were convinced to vote for him because of this rally? That sounds… Unlikely.
- WillPostForFood 5y agoThere’s no evidence that the rallies scheduled in October 2016 for Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Wilkes-Barre, and Erie ever took place. There were no permit applications filed for the day of the Philly rally, either. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/mueller-report-miners-for-trump-philadelphia-russia-photo-20190423.html https://www.inquirer.com/politics/mueller-report-miners-for-... Russia through 100k in facebook ads, and got the typical results, nothing much. Even if they were the best FB ad optimizers in the world how much impact is 100k in an election where the spending was estimated at $2.65 billion dollars? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2016s-price-tag-6-8-billion/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2016s-price-tag-6-8-bi...
